3. According to the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, false complaint has been lodged as against the petitioner. He submits that when the entire village had assembled for temple function, such incident could not have happened at all.

CRL OP(MD) No. 25037 of 2026
5. As could be seen from the charge sheet, there is a specific overt act that the petitioner misbehaved with the victim girl. Whether there was any motive for the girl or her parents or whether such incident had not taken place is a factual dispute, which is to be decided only during the trial. In such circumstances, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial. However, the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court shall stand dispensed with, unless specific orders are passed by the trial Court.
6. Finding no merits, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. 03-11-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No YUVA __________
